There are so many lame kickstarter projects, but this is the exception. I still hope kickstarter goes away forever, but only after Wasteland 2 is funded.

You want a whole website to go away, all of its employees laid off because you think some of the projects are lame?



Did Kickstarter burn down your sister and rape your church?

We could always start a kickstarter project to do just that

IMHO it might be helpful for future projects like that. World aint ending on Wasteland2. I hope it's the beginning of "isometric cRPG's self-funding" era. Or, provided that W2 will succeed - new~old trend to follow by some commercial developers.

Oh my god, I forgot about all of the poor employees! You're right, I take it back.

[edit] I want to see an era where people make good games, but not if I have to fund them with a cash donation two years before they ship based solely on the lame hope that maybe the game will be OK when it's finished. Because that ain't happening.

I think the worst thing that can happen to a game, book, or other creative work is that the developers build it based on fan input. You watch; the things that bug you about Wasteland 2 will be based on fan input from the forums.
